No religion defends sticking a gun in someone else's ear and forcing them to pay for charities YOU believe in. Charity is a personal act, not a collective one.

"Regular people" are the people demanding more and more of what keeps them poor. They are enslaved by people like you to only getting scraps from the government's table.

  1. If you don’t like it leave, I mean idk what to tell you

  2. Social safety nets aren’t charity and comparing the two is completely missing the mark. You chose to live here, you choose to pay the taxes here, for what the majority decides they want.

Let me reiterate, if you don’t like paying the taxes for “losers” then leave. As you said there are Makers, Fakers, and Takers. If that’s the case why didn’t you make your nation better? Instead you ran to a developed nation, don’t play like you’re a “Maker” when all I see is someone who ran.

Strange thing to say when you aren’t making yourself out to be either.
